CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story had incorrect information about the length of sentencing for a couple. This report is correct.

A Shelby Township couple will spend about five years in prison before either is eligible for parole in connection with the death of their 21-month-old son, who swallowed a lethal dose of the prescription painkiller OxyContin.

Shannon Kammer, 27, was sentenced this morning to between 54 and 180 months in prison on multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter, selling and manufacturing marijuana, and maintaining a drug house. Robert Seifert was sentenced to between 60 and 180 months on the same charges.

The couple pleaded guilty last month to involuntary manslaughter in the death of their son, Brendan, who was 18 months old when he ingested the OxyContin in October 2007. He remained on life support for three months before he died, prompting prosecutors to charge the couple with second-degree murder.

Kammer and Seifert pleaded guilty to the lesser charge to avoid trial. Police said they found more than 20 marijuana plants, as well as other prescription drugs apparently being readied for sale, in their home.

The couple had entered a guilty plea earlier in the case that would have resulted in a nearly seven-year minimum sentence, but Macomb County Circuit Judge John C. Foster rejected the plea, saying the sentence was too harsh.

hey for someone who has kids and has been busted that does suck, i dont wish bad on the parents cuz their kid dieing is already an eternity of fuckin misery but damn man! put your pills in the pill cabinet

are you a newb ask me whatever love to teach the willing soul

I don't understand how an 18month old baby got into prescription meds... Tha is extremley sad... But I must say due to there ignorance these parents deserve more time in prison. I mean come on, you gotta keep the pills in childproof bottles at the least. This is just wrong... I don't even see how an 18month old would be capable of getting into the regular bottles of meds (non-childproof) so they must have been out and left there baby unatended.... Sad, but I think harsher punishment is in order.

I would never personally raise my children in an environment filled with prescription drugs and an illegal grow up. Not because the drugs are dangerous, but the environment and people there are dangerous because the drugs are illegal.
